Downwind66 Posted June 7, 2022 Share Posted June 7, 2022 (edited) Storyline behind this aircraft, paint was damaged, and they ended up converting it to bare metal with white /red stripe. See listing and storyline below. FS2004 (ACOF) - FS2004 Jetliners FS2004 US Airways Boeing 737-300 [ Download | View ] Name: n573us.zip Size: 5,580,066 Date: 08-31-2009 Downloads: 1,922 FS2004 US Airways Boeing 737-300 in bare metal livery. During the repainting process, a few aircraft were damaged at New Iberia, LA, causing corrosion to form. This particular B737-300 was stripped and patched back up and currently is wearing a hybrid livery with a bare metal finish, white/red stripes and black titles instead of white, but with the normal tail scheme. Later, US Airways decided to use this as one of two aircraft for a usairways.com website promotional livery. This package contains both the hybrid and usairways.com bare metal liveries. Painted on the Vistaliners model. By Joe Shimmel. Rick :cool: Edited June 7, 2022 by Downwind66 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rupert Posted June 10, 2022 Share Posted June 10, 2022 Great shot and story Rick. That's certainly not a livery I remember. Being an old chopper guy I usually fly low and slow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
